Actually I think it should be connected to the neck volume pot and a drawing I found seems to confirm this ( there are lots of variations). Touching the wire off it doesn't help much at all.

If the hum goes away completely when you turn down the volume on the guitar then it's airborn interference that is being picked up by the pickups
Dimmer switches anywhere in the house can cause this (they can put an unholy amount of crap back onto the wiring). Fluorescent lights also - and I don't just mean strip lights but the individual energy saving bulbs based on that technology. I've had good results with the modern LED types though - no noise, better light and cheaper to run. Computers will do it too.Your body acts like a big aerial for all this noise. When you touch the bridge, you earth yourself and the part of the noise you, the aerial, is causing goes to earth and is reduced hence the noise level coming down.
Also note that some profiles are noisy buggers...... Exclude that too
It goes away, yes. Also putting the tone all the way down makes it go away. If I play a clean sound and pick the strings I can still hear it, even if my fingers are touching the strings. Strumming and I can't hear anything.

Just noticed a stray wire while looking at one of the volume pots. https://imgur.com/a/MVHWb looks like it's coming from the grey cable and should be connected to the bottom of the pot. Not sure if I did it or not.
-
Yes, all connected.
-
Tried continuity test with a multimeter from all strings, pots, pickups, the bridge and the ground on the output and they are all connected. I also tried with the audio output and there was no connections and I tried both of those with a lead in the output and the results were the same.... what's next I wonder?

Would be a solid upgrade. +1

Application to control Kemper

Sorry, what is this?

Tried multiple cables and it remains. Going to have to dig into it at the weekend.

Yes. Touching the strings makes some difference but touching the bridge seems to be even better. Like I said I know it's the guitar because all I hear with my acoustic is the 50Hz hum (and it's very low). I just figured the ground lift on the kemper would sort it, guess I was wrong. Something not grounded in the guitar electrics?

Hammerclaw humbuckers with a shield plate. Which one is in use makes no difference and where I stand in my room makes no difference.

Trying to record a few bits and I'm getting hum coming through both channels (Direct Output - Git Studio, Monitor Output - Stack). It is much worse on the Direct Output channel. I know the main cause is the guitar because if I plug my acoustic in it is much less but I thought the ground lift would take care of that?

I do not believe in paying for instructional videos. However, if you made a few profiles for sale that included FREE instructional videos on how to shape the tones. I would buy it.
Similar to what Slate has been doing with his plugins. Free instructional vids on how to use the plugins.
His profiles or plugins?

Not entirely sure on your claim that 6505 is a lesser form of 5150 as I've read in many places that's it's the exact same amp, although I'd be willing to try it. I have been saying that the 6505 profiles I'm finding (free on the rig exchange so there might be something in that..) are too "fizzy" to my ears.

Can't seem to find it.

You would like the full pack on the 6505 I bet. Super versatile.
The Reamp Zone ones? I tried their free ones on the rig exchange and wasn't that impressed. Like I said there's too much "fizz" or something in the distortion.
-
Nice, I'll give it a shot. There's something that I fell that's missing from the 6506 one on the rig exchange. Also it's like there's too much "fizz" in it.
-
Reampzone has a Krank Rev and a 6505 that are tops for me. His death metal pack is more for Swedish type death as is chainsaw and raw sounds, it's good fun and great but for more modern death I prefer the other two.
Is there any difference to that and the free one they have on the rig exchange?

Was actually wondering what would happen if you screamed into the mic or put weird noises into it while it was profiling last night...
